Pet Mouse.

Put newspaper on the bottom of the cage, with cedar wood chippings on top. That's what I did with my Guinea Pigs.
 
If there is a single mouse in a house I can smell it straight away it's hard to describe, it's like musty, when I went to visit my gran, as a boy, she had mice, sometimes she'd suddenly say shush, keep still, & a mouse would be right there in the hearth three feet away from where we were sitting, it'd stop, sit up & clean it's whiskers then scurry off, it was a very old cottage, there was no electricity only a big oil lamp on the table, she lived on her own & said they were company for her.

If I were you, I would get a rat instead of a mouse. Much more friendly, I've had rats for 5 years, and have never been bitten, after a couple months, they begin to become comfortable, and will come out, they have even gotten out quite a lot, and I always find them still in my room. They are a lot of fun, but dont get CEDAR shavings!! They are bad for rats, make sure you get either the recycled paper shavings, or aspen. It's a little more expensive, but very important to their resporator system.

BTW, making a homemade cage is the way to go!! Mine looks better then store bought cages, and is cheaper, and a LOT bigger. $40 or so in material, the bottom is a wrapping paper box, and its about 4' tall.
 
I Dunno know,A Mouse or a rat :p .I Bought a cage to be my travel cage,you see on go away quite often.Ill use that travel cage as it's primary cage until i get (or make) A bigger one.I Guess when i go to the pet shop,ill decide between a mouse or a rat.
 
A mouse/mice, you'd probably wanna buy 2-3 cause they're small where as a rat you'd probably just want the 1.
 
I would buy 2 either way. They need company too. I bought just one, then decided, it was too lonely when I wasnt keeping it company, so I went out and bought the sister. I would buy 2+ of whatever it is, they will be a LOT happier.
